Pre-Requisites
If you are new to cloud computing I recommend you do our introduction to cloud computing courses first. These courses will give you a basic introduction to the Cloud and with Amazon Web Services. We have two courses that I recommend - What is Cloud Computing? and technical Fundamentals for AWS
The What is Cloud Computing? lecture is part of the Introduction to Cloud Computing learning path. I recommend doing this learning path if you want a good basic understanding of why you might consider using AWS Cloud Services. If you feel comfortable with Cloud, but would like to learn more about Amazon Web Services, then recommend completing the technical Fundamentals for AWS course to build your knowledge about Amazon Web Services and the value the services bring to customers.
If you have any questions or concerns about where to start please email us at support@cloudacademy.com so we can help you with your personal learning path.
Ok so on to our certification learning path!
